My host is very irritable

Chapter 182 The Missy is in a Bad State 6

Carrier pigeons and urgent letters from the border were constantly sent to the capital. As the emperor read one urgent letter after another, his face became extremely ugly.

He hurriedly summoned his ministers to begin a meeting. In the court, some ministers proposed abandoning the imperial city and retreating southward to preserve strength.

However, there were other ministers who insisted on fighting to the death with the enemies in the north.

The emperor himself was not decisive, and faced with this sudden crisis, he found it difficult to make a decision for a while.

Just as the emperor was hesitating, another urgent letter was delivered to the court.

The letter revealed that spies had captured several of Chen Puzhong's sons, and Chen Puzhong himself had surrendered to the enemy.

The army from the north was marching all the way to the capital.

After reading the urgent letter, the emperor sat on the dragon throne and did not speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late..." a minister urged anxiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Other ministers also echoed.

"Your Majesty, we cannot give up the capital easily. There is a large population here. If everyone works together, we will be able to repel the enemy..." another minister said firmly.

For a moment, the court was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?" the emperor finally spoke, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"Your Majesty, I believe that we must defend the capital to the death."

"Old Prime Minister, are you confused?" someone questioned.

"Yes! Seeing the enemy approaching, are you going to disregard the safety of His Majesty?"

……

After a period of silence, the emperor finally raised his head and said in a firm tone: "Come here, arrest Concubine Lan and her son.

"Your servant, obeys your command." Eunuch Li immediately stepped forward to receive the order, and then took his men to carry out the emperor's order.

The emperor thought for a moment before he spoke: "It is my fault. I will not leave. I have decided to fight to the death with those enemy soldiers."

"Your Majesty?" some ministers shouted in panic.

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind." The emperor waved his hand to stop them from speaking.

The emperor thought of the past, and his heart ached. He really knew he was wrong. He shouldn't have valued civil officials over military officials, which led to the decline of military officials in the court.

Everyone in the capital is now in danger, and even those self-righteous young men and women from wealthy families dare not go out easily.

It was not until the threat of war became imminent that they deeply realized the horror of war and began to miss their peaceful life in the past.

Now, they kneel in front of the Buddha statue and pray continuously, hoping to get the protection of the gods.

At the Xiangwang Mansion, the Xiangwang took out the box he had treasured for a long time, put on his armor, assembled his troops, and marched quickly towards the capital.

The troops from the north came quickly. The emperor stood on the city wall and looked at the dark crowd below. He couldn't help but sigh.

When the great commander of the North saw the Emperor on the city wall, he told his soldiers to shout loudly.

"Little Emperor, open the door and surrender quickly! Otherwise, we will rush into the city and take away all your women, hahahaha..."

When the soldiers on the city wall heard the enemy's provocation, they were all furious and wanted to rush down the wall to fight the enemy to the death.

The war was about to break out, and all the able-bodied citizens in the capital climbed up the city walls, ready to fight.

Those who could not fight did odd jobs in the rear, and even dogs were brought out to help defend the city.

No one wants to see the country destroyed and become a slave. Therefore, everyone tries their best and vows to fight the enemy to the end.

The war finally broke out, and people continued to die on both sides.

Some people in the city had never seen such a bloody scene in their lives. They bandaged the wounds of the wounded while retching.

The shouts and cries of killing inside and outside the city were deafening. When the capital was in danger, various princes also rushed to the outside of the capital.

At a command, their army joined the battle.

He Yue had nothing to do, so she strolled into the palace where Concubine Lan was imprisoned.

"Who are you?" Concubine Lan asked, raising her hand to block the glaring light from the door.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine is so forgetful. Have you forgotten me so quickly?" He Yue answered coldly, playing with the dagger in her hand.

When the light faded, Concubine Lan finally saw clearly who the person was.

"Su Xinglan, aren't you dead?" Concubine Lan shouted in panic when she saw He Yue.

"I won't die even if you die. Besides, I haven't avenged my parents yet. How could I die?"

"You, what do you mean?" When Concubine Lan heard He Yue's words, she was shocked.

"Aren't you very clear about what I mean?" The dagger in He Yue's hand suddenly stabbed into Concubine Lan's arm.

"Ah..." The delicate and frail Concubine Lan had never suffered such torture before, and she screamed immediately.

He Yue pulled out a dagger, then took out a porcelain bottle, forced Concubine Lan's mouth open, and poured the liquid in the bottle into her.

"What did you give me to eat?" Concubine Lan asked hurriedly

"Good stuff, guaranteed to make you unforgettable for the rest of your life."

"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts so much." Something was running around inside her body, gnawing at her internal organs. The pain was so severe that she clenched her fists and kept beating her body, trying to kill the thing in her stomach.

The Fourth Prince lay on the bed like a living dead. He Yue dragged him in front of Concubine Lan like a dead dog.

During the dragging, the Fourth Prince came back to his senses. He stared at He Yue and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Are you blind? Don't you recognize me?"

"Su Xinglan, how can you talk to me..." When the Fourth Prince saw the bloody dagger in He Yue's hand, he immediately shut his mouth.

"No, no, no, Su Xinglan, I beg you, please let him go! I did everything, it has nothing to do with my son." Concubine Lan knelt on the ground, enduring the great pain, and kept begging.

“Mother, please don’t be like this. Don’t ask her to…” The Fourth Prince looked at his humble mother, and his heart was broken.

"Shut up." Concubine Lan stopped her son sternly, and then continued to beg He Yue.

"None of you Chen family members will survive. If you dare to harm our Su family, just wait for revenge!"

After saying this, He Yue picked up the dagger and quickly chopped off the Fourth Prince's hands.

"No, you can't do this to him..." Concubine Lan was heartbroken when she saw her son's miserable condition and cried out in grief.

"Puchi, puchi..." He Yue stabbed the Fourth Prince a few more times, her movements cold and ruthless.

“Ahhh…” Concubine Lan struggled and threw herself towards He Yue, trying to stop her from hurting her son.

"Bang!" He Yue kicked Concubine Lan away. She hit the pillar in the hall and then fainted on the ground.

The fourth prince endured the great pain and spoke with difficulty: "Su Xinglan, for your father's sake, can you please give me a quick death?"

"No, you Chen family members are not worthy of mentioning my father."
